Not all heroes wear capes… some wear turnout gear 🦺🦆

Today, the crew at Shrewsbury Fire Department responded to a very important call — a tiny duckling in distress after taking an unexpected trip down a sewer! With a little teamwork, patience, and care, we were able to safely rescue our feathered friend and reunite it with it’s Mama.

No matter how big or small, we’re here for all those in need. ❤️
